It was an astounding catch, reminiscent of Dhoni's younger days, when on field for the Indian national team.
Dhoni also made amends for his mistake in the first over, sending Prithvi Shaw back to the pavilion as he stumped him off Piyush Chawla's bowling.
Shaw hit 64-runs off 43 deliveries, packed with nine fours and a six.
In the second delivery of the innings, Chahar's ball got a touch on his bat, going to Dhoni for a catch. Shaw was smart enough to not turn and look behind, and even Dhoni didn't appeal. TV replays showed that Shaw got a faint inside edge.
DC finished at 175/3, setting a 176-run target after 20 overs. Other than Shaw and Iyer, Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant and Marcus Stoinis also contributed with the bat.
The Indian pair of Dhawan and Pant registered 35 and 37* respectively.
Meanwhile, Stoinis came in at the end and could only punch five runs to the total. Piyush Chawla and Curran took the wickets for CSK.
